Some hundred women in the Upper West region have benefited from a Unilever Empowerment Women Programme known as the Songtaa project.
The project, which was initiated three years ago, was code-named ‘Shakti Project’, an Indian word that means the act of helping one another.
At its launch, the project was given a local touch and rechristened as the ‘Songtaa Project’ due to the positive testimonies some beneficiaries recounted.
They said the project has impacted their lives and that of their families both socially and economically.
Managing Director of the Unilever Ghana PLC, George Owusu-Ansah, at the launch of the project in Wa, stated that the women who signed on to the program will be offered products from the company to keep the profit and restock from the capital generated.
